Quote:because the orientation of the embryo, yoke and air space would be settled shortly after the embryo begins to form and turning the egg over after that point over will kill the embryo?.lol.. Someone doesn't own chickens/had to incubate and rotate eggs. Most birds jostle and rotate their eggs. In fact there may have been a bigger issue of all eggs needing to be rotated to ensure proper embryo development.
Quote:So the damned bunny had better not hop while carrying the eggs, it had better walk very gingerly.This was already discussed in the incubation of said eggs as the would in fact be kept/stored in hay/compost.
Quote:NOw how long would a tiptoeing bunny with a basketful of lizard or bird eggs take to tip toe from the deserts of, well, just about anywhere, to Noah’s shipyard?
Again.. already discussed.
God sent animals to the ark. Noah was responsibility was to load them. If a chicken that take up 3 cubic feet, and needs 30 lbs of food. shows up and lays eggs that take up less than 3 cubic inches, and requires no food. which do you think He would load up?
Quote: Did I mention if the embryos were not killed because they got bumped, the eggs would generally hatch within, oh from a couple of weeks to a couple of month?irrelevant. The ark was afloat 150 days total. gen 7:24
Quote:Btw, did I mention if one puts all of the eggs of some species of lizard together in one place to carry or incubate, the eggs will likely all hatch into babies or the same sex?Irrelevant. Do you not understand my senecio well enough to provide a cohesive objection that address the points I am making?
Quote:See, many lizard’s sex are not determined by genes but by the temperature at which the eggs are incubated. put the the eggs together in one place, and if the eggs survive, the chances are the hatchlings will all emerge as the same sex.
your assuming the egg incubation is based on ambient air temp. I pointed out the best method to incubate eggs would have been in a compost pile perhaps made from hay and manure. As a composting pile can reach internal temps of 160*F towards the center of the pile. meaning one could control the temp of the incubation by the egg placement in the pile.
And while temp does play a factor in sex, the variance in gender is not 100% determined by it. meaning if all eggs were subject to say warmer conditions before incubation all hatchlings wouldn't be male. By that I mean you might see a 60% male hatchling rate. I know most hatcheries subject chicken eggs to colder ambient temps for several days so that more hens will hatch. Even so the hath rate is not all female. there's just more females than males. which is not a bad thing if you think about it for the purposes of repopulating the world relatively quickly.
I would be glad to provide you with a link if I could.
